The things people say

"It was weird. If we had played a sixth set, ASU would have won that one." - Dave Rubio. I'm sure Jason Watson feels better now.

“I think the girls are getting tougher. And the coaching staff does a good job of kind of pouncing on them when it looks like they’re showing signs of weakness." - Mike Sealy, channeling Doug Neidermeyer.


“[Juliann Faucette] along with Amber took the team on their backs in the third and it was impressive to watch." - Jerritt Elliott, referring to some bizarre Cirque du Soleil-inspired inverted human pyramid.

"Colorado State’s volleyball team must feel like a bunch of janitors lately." - Rocky Mountain Collegian. Boy, there's about 231,752 different directions they could go from here. I'm almost afraid to read on. Is this going to be some kind of complicated analogy involving an industrial cleaner?

"...as the Rams have now swept their last four opponents." - Oh. That's, that's actually not too bad.

"We didn't play our best volleyball of the season, but we didn't quite need to." - Rich Feller on the team's win over Oregon, which apparently wasn't that big a deal.

"There was no magic in McGonigle Hall on Sunday, as the volleyball team lost its eighth straight match to Charlotte on Halloween Day." - From Temple student newspaper. Wait, isn't McGonigle Hall at Hogwarts?

"Some teams have the ability to do great things and some teams don’t. Obviously, if you can’t serve the ball, then you qualify for the second one." - Another nugget of delicious wisdom from Russ Rose. Ya' think he's talking about anyone in particular? Think that person knows it?
